Lian Li Rolls Out Boxy Looking PC-Q01 Case for Mini ITX Builds

A brushed aluminum chassis for smaller systems

Lian Li's obvious fetish for brushed aluminum continues to influence the company's penchant for designing cases. The newest case from Lian Li to receive the brushed aluminum treatment is the PC-Q01, a mini-ITX enclosure with "ample space for hardware" and a tool-lessly removable L-shaped cover that's designed to make installations a lot easier for a mini-ITX build, the company says.

It's a 13.3L case that supports double-slotted graphics cards and ATX power supplies up to 210mm in length, and CPU coolers up to 90mm in height. For storage chores, both the side panel and case floor can hold a combination of a 2.5-inch SSD and 3.5-inch HDD, or two 2.5-inch SSDs, Lian Li says.

Lian Li designed the case with passive cooling in mind, though if the thought of a fanless enclosure gives you the heebie-jeebies, you can add a 120mm or 140mm fan on the case floor in place of drives.

The PC-Q01 will be available this month in black or silver for $64 MSRP.
